Soon as i get a newer xj i'm bent between doing either a 4.5" or a 3" lift. Money is deffinatly going to be tight...so i'm thinking about doing a 3" w/ a 1" coil spacer and 1" block in the rear....I THINK! This is all depending on the feedback i get...my question is, iv'e heard extended shackles arent always a good decision, so is there anything bad about putting a small block under the leaf pack and a little spacer w/ the coils up front? I just want to get a little bit more out of the 3" lift w/out having to go so crazy w/ price into a 4.5" lift...also want to stick w/ the 31" tires i already have and i dont like the way they look w/ a 4.5" lift. Any one have experience w/ effects from spacers and blocks?
